FRISCO \u2014 Snow is back in the forecast after two weeks of mostly dry and unseasonably warm weather in Summit County.<\/p>\n

National Weather Service meteorologist Natalie Sullivan said the forecast shows snow Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Sullivan expects it will start snowing in Summit County early Wednesday with the heaviest snowfall forecast for Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor Summit County, it looks like the current forecast has totals anywhere from just under 2 inches in the lower elevations to up to about 9 inches or a little bit more for the higher, more mountainous areas,\u201d Sullivan said. <\/p>\n

While there will be snow, high temperatures are expected to remain above freezing in Frisco<\/a> with the lowest high temperature being 38 degrees on Thursday and Friday. Low temperatures are expected to bottom out Friday night at 13 degrees. <\/p>\n

\u201cWednesday isn\u2019t too bad, then it gets colder on Thursday and Friday,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cSo Wednesday will be about 10 degrees cooler than (Tuesday), and then Thursday will be about 5 degrees cooler.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite a fairly dry November, National Weather Service hydrologist Treste Huse reported that the Blue River Basin, where Summit County is located, is at 107% of normal snow-water equivalent for November. <\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the dryer conditions of late, we\u2019re kind of going back near normal,\u201d Huse said. \u201cLast year, we actually stayed above normal and then we really shot above normal through March. Right now, we\u2019re about near normal, but it\u2019s very early in the snowpack season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huse reported that the snow-water equivalent is about average compared with the past five years. Statewide, Colorado is at 77% of normal.<\/p>\n

After this week\u2019s three-day storm, Open Snow meteorologist Joel Gratz predicts a dry weekend and wrote in his blog<\/a> that \u201cmultiple storms should hit Colorado during the week of Thanksgiving and into early December.\u201d<\/p>\n
